%A Galudra, G. 
%X The Halimun Area can be reached within four hours of journey from Jakarta, capital of Indonesia, toward the interior of Lebak District. Administratively, it is located in West Java and Banten Provinces within three districts (namely Bogor, Sukabumi and Lebak) consisting of 141 villages with a total area of ±208,726.86 hectares (Hanafi et al, 2003). The Halimun Area has been identified as one of the area in Java with high biodiversity, as well as important ecological and social functions. Within the area lies the largest remaining tropical rainforest ecosystem in Java, consisting of lowland rainforest, sub- mountain forest and mountain forest. Due to the forest ecosystems richness and hydrological function, the Government of Indonesia, in 2003, decides to designate part of this area as National Park One of the fundamental problems in Halimun Area is the existence of land tenure conflict between the local communities who have manage the forest land for their crops and dwellings on the one hand, and the national park, supported by the national state law, to protect and sustain state forest area for conservation on the other. The problems took place when the government doe s not aware that Halimun Area still retains unresolved land tenure conflicts from the past. Several common property systems have been introduced, either by the state government, NGOs and local communities, in order to resolve land tenure conflicts in Halimun Area. Although these systems have different fundamental designs, they show a good intention from the stakeholders to coll aborate on resolving the land tenure conflicts.
